Review: Hobonichi Planner 2017

I will cut your Mei-ed in Nippon viewing pleasure for now as I am still sorting out Akizora (YAY ITS BACK!). I will be posting something different and I guess it would be a good interval of sorts :)

Anyway, since the end of the year is getting closer, its important that you have a planner that will help you remember what has happened to you throughout the year and even remind you which events need remembering. This year, I didn’t get a Hobonichi because I was given a Starbucks planner… which I didn’t even continue using at the middle of the year. I got completely preoccupied with things and I have to admit, this year has been very odd indeed.

In my last Manila trip, when I got my dad’s phone from the repair shop, I passed by Scribe’s Writing Essentials. I knew they were selling the planner. Considering I wanted to use one again for next year and I’d save up greatly for the EMS fees, I bought one even if it wasn’t in my to-buy-immediately budget.

Here is a sneak preview of the new Hobonichi Planner 2017 and my review on the photo captions ^^

We meet again Hobonichi.

The back with the price. Yeah. I did save up the EMS fees.

Inside the flap is the serial number of my Hobonichi. I don’t know if they had this last year, but its kinda cool they have it now.

I cannot wait to try my best to write my 2017 goals XDD. I should start listing

National Holiday Schedule 2017

Contact page, this was not in the 2015 version so I find this a good inclusion to the Hobonichi planner.

Conversion size charts and a ruler for you. Not included in the 2015 version. I can use this in Japan when I return

The faces of Japanese seasons, must try to see all!

Japanese teas. Its good they have a new info page :)

Sweets in Japan… I DID NOT TRY THESE IN JAPAN X_X MUST DO SO!!!

Area codes

The other pages are the same for the calendars and the daily entries. I cannot wait to write in this specific date :D

If you are living in Manila and want to purchase your own Hobonichi, just check out this place! They also sell some of the covers.

I’ll probably be playing with this Hobonichi when I have some time off this long weekend. I’m considering of getting a new cover for this or use my old one then buy a new one and use it as a passport holder. I actually did so when I went to Japan. I like to get that Myth of Tomorrow cover. But I must save up for some other things.
